Cookies make it possible, in particular, to determine the frequency of use and number of users of the pages, to analyze the behavior of page use, but also to make our offer more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored at the end of a browser session and can be called up again when you visit the site again.

The data records do not contain any personal information. They are not merged with any personal data provided by you.

Cookies save you from having to enter data multiple times, make it easier for you to transmit specific content and are required for logging into the closed area. If you wish to prevent the use of cookies, you can refuse to accept cookies in your browser. Please refer to your browser manufacturer's instructions to find out how this works in detail.

10. note on external links

This website contains links to third-party websites ("external links"). These websites are subject to the liability of the respective operators. When the external links were first created, the provider checked the third-party content for any legal violations. No legal violations were apparent at that time. The provider has no influence whatsoever on the current and future design and content of the linked pages. The inclusion of external links does not mean that the provider adopts the content behind the reference or link as its own. It is not reasonable for the provider to constantly monitor external links without concrete evidence of legal violations. However, such external links will be deleted immediately if the provider becomes aware of any legal violations.

11. online presence in social media

We provide online presences within social networks in order to communicate with the interested parties and users active there and to be able to inform them about us. User data may be processed by the service provider outside the European Union. This may result in risks for users because, for example, it could make it more difficult to enforce users' rights. As a rule, the service provider processes user data for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user interests resulting from usage behavior can be used to place advertisements inside and outside the platforms that could correspond to the interests of the users. Cookies are usually stored on the user's computer for this purpose. In addition, data can also be stored in the user profiles independently of the devices used (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them). In the following, we inform you about the processing of your personal data carried out by us in the context of the online presences provided by us. In its ruling of June 5, 2018, the ECJ confirmed the joint responsibility of the service provider and the site operator. The social media page you visit offers you the opportunity to react to our posts, comment on them, create a user post yourself and send us private messages with personal requests. The data you provide in this context and which may be accessible to us (e.g. user name, images, interests, contact details) will be used by us exclusively for the purpose of communicating with customers and interested parties. Our interest lies in offering you a platform on which we can display current information and with the help of which you can address your request to us and we can respond to your request as quickly as possible. We do not process any data other than the basic functions of the website. Please note that the service provider may use tracking tools and cookies independently of our use of the site. For a detailed description of the respective processing and the opt-out options, please refer to the information provided by the providers linked below. In the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would also like to point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users' data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, you can contact us.

12. legal basis of the processing

Insofar as we obtain consent for certain processing operations, these are based on Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract, e.g. for the delivery of goods or for pre-contractual measures, e.g. in the case of inquiries, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. If the processing of personal data is not based on any of the aforementioned legal bases, we process data to protect a legitimate interest of our company (improvement of the performance of business activities). We always ensure that this does not conflict with any legitimate interest of the data subject that outweighs our legitimate interest.

13 Duration for which the personal data is stored

The storage period for personal data is based on the statutory retention periods. If the purpose for which the data was collected no longer applies, the data will be deleted after this period has expired.

14. right to information and revocation, right of complaint and right to restriction of processing, correction and deletion

You have the right to obtain information about your data stored by us and the purpose of storage at any time. You can revoke your consent to the storage or use of your personal data in writing at any time. In addition to revocation, you have the right to request the correction, restriction of processing and blocking or deletion of your data.
You also have the option of objecting to the use of your data in general.
To do this, please contact the data protection officer at datenschutz@via-consult.de (VIA Consult provides the external data protection officer for the Schürholz Group and is therefore available to answer any questions relating to data protection law) or datenschutz@schuerholz-group.com.

You have the right to contact the relevant supervisory authority (for NRW: the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia in Düsseldorf) with any complaints.

15 Security

We use technical and organizational security measures to protect the personal data you provide to us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. Our security measures are continuously improved and adapted in accordance with the state of the art.

16. application

On our website, we use an applicant management system from ontavio GmbH, Hundemstraße 2, 57368 Lennestadt - hereinafter also referred to as talentstorm.

Upon completion of an application initiated via a platform operated by talentstorm, a small, invisible image file is called up in your browser, which enables the talentstorm servers to record a successful application. In accordance with the GDPR, technical information (e.g. IP address, browser used, date and time of retrieval) is transmitted to the talentstorm servers. Further information can be found at: Protected link

For the processing of personal data as part of the application process, an additional privacy policy has been created, which can be viewed before submitting the data.

17.usercentrics

We use the consent management service Usercentrics, of Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Str. 7, 80331 Munich, Germany (Usercentrics). This enables us to obtain and manage the consent of website users for data processing. The processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 7 para. 1 GDPR) to which we are subject (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR). Usercentrics is the recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor for us.
The Usercentrics Consent Management Platform collects device information, browser information, opt-in and opt-out data, date and time of visit, request URLs and website page path and cookie preferences.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for logging purposes and there are no legal obligations to retain it.
